Doctor Care Anywhere (‘DCA’), one of the UK’s leading providers of digital health services, today announces that it will offer a series of free GP-led webinars on post-natal and newborn health, in support of Little Earth Baby’s not-for-profit Birth and Newborn Support Platform. Little Earth Baby is an eco-baby brand who have set up this free-to-use medical advice and guidance platform in order to provide much needed support to new and expectant parents at this very challenging time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

New parents have a vital need for regular and trusted medical advice and support for themselves and their babies. As the UK faces this unprecedented health crisis, access to the level of care that’s required is not as readily available as usual, with GP surgeries closed, home visits restricted, and hospital beds being freed up wherever possible for patients suffering from COVID-19. In response to these changing circumstances, DCA’s clinical team, working with Little Earth Baby’s Birth and Newborn Support Platform and its community of new and expecting parents, has created a webinar series designed to provide pregnancy support, medical advice, and reassurance to those who need it, within the comfort of their own homes.

DCA’s support programme will kick-off with two webinars, led by their experienced GPs, on Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 April respectively, with further sessions planned for the coming weeks. The first two webinars will cover the immediate post-partum period, including advice on: how to spot and manage common post-pregnancy health issues, such as mastitis, low mood and body changes; and what action to take when newborns develop common complaints such as rashes, fevers, neonatal snuffles, sticky eye and coughs.

If you would like to participate in the webinars, please email events@doctorcareanywhere.com in order to express your interest. Invitations to the webinars will also be sent out by Little Earth Baby to their community of around 2,000 parents expecting this April-May. Any expecting or existing parents interested in accessing these sessions at a later date will be able to watch the recorded webinars on Little Earth Baby’s website at https://www.littleearthbaby.com/birth-and-newborn-support/

Catherine Glass, Director of Clinical Workforce and Strategic Partnerships at Doctor Care Anywhere, said: “Being able to access medical care, advice and attention is vital for new and expecting parents, and never more so than in a public health emergency like the one we are currently facing, where services are stretched and usual practices and procedures are disrupted. The webinars we are launching today will ensure parents will be able to benefit from clinical expertise, advice and support from their own homes, providing them with the peace of mind they need without having to expose themselves or their babies to any potential risk of infection in a healthcare setting.”

Emma Bianco, Founder and Managing Director of Little Earth Baby, said: “We are proud to be supported by Doctor Care Anywhere on this initiative. Users of our birth support platform will benefit greatly from the advice and support that Doctor Care Anywhere’s GPs will be able to provide through the webinars, especially at such a challenging time for new and expectant mothers. I’ve personally used and benefitted from Doctor Care Anywhere’s services on many occasions relating to post-partum health and my children, and am thrilled that, together, we will be able to provide that same support to many more families in the months to come.”
